Hi Geoffroy Thanks for the email. I'll try to recall as much info as I can about what I've done.

If not, why do you say that you > had specific config files in /etc/oscar The install I did a few weeks ago was a new install - i.e. no previous oscar installation. I installed the headnode with SL5.5 x86_64 and then Oscar 6.1.0. I have not tried to upgrade, but while I was away yum downloaded Oscar 6.1.1 and this appears to have overwritten some things. In /etc/oscar I think the only file that actually differs is supported_distros.txt to which I had added, under [6.1.0]: scientific_linux-5-x86_64 = distro:http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/55/x86_64/SL/ oscar:http://bison.csm.ornl.gov/repos/unstable/rhel-5-x86_64 My Oscar install was as follows. 1) OS setup as described in section 3.3.1 of the documentation for the OS setup (but with my modified support_distros.txt). 2) oscar-config --setup-distro scientific_linux-5-x86_64 3) oscar-config --bootstrap At this point I had to edit /usr/share/oscar/prereqs/yume/prereq.cfg because under [scientific*:*:*] it said urlgrabber rather than python-urlgrabber (and since the 6.1.1 accidental download it has reverted back to just saying urlgrabber). 4) Re-ran the bootstrap. 5) system-sanity (failed the network and ssh tests so adjusted as per the documentation) 6) oscar_wizard install The main issue during this part was the my headnode differed from my compute nodes so I had some disk driver issues to resolve which I did by creating a specific initrd in the compute node image. Overall, the install of Oscar went ok. > - Did you successfully run oscar-config before to run oscar_wizard? Yes, during the initial install as above. I have not tried since, as I was concerned that because of the 6.1.1 download it might cause problems with the existing install. I guess what I am essentially wondering is: a) What files may have been changed by the download of 6.1.1 and the impact this is likely to have had or might have on my existing install? b) If I restore/modify the files I know I had to change to get the initial install to work will this be enough to finish installing the remaining compute nodes? c) Is there a simple way of getting everything back to how it was before I went on holiday (6.1.0 with no 6.1.1)? > - Did you successfully install OSCAR 6.x on Scientific Linux?
